Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll

  How appropriate in a week when we are playing Bowie back to back with Motorhead. The Oxford Astrology Group is hosting another set of lectures at Trinity College, Oxford on February 13. The subject looks fun: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Neptune’s going to come into that, I believe. There are three speakers — Teresa Moorey, John Green and John Etherington: each taking on one aspect of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. There will be a panel discussion at the end of the day. I expect the recent passing of Bowie and Lemmy will come up. Previous events with Lynn Bell, Bernadette Brady, Dick Van Der […]

Is This the Natal Horoscope of Senator Bernie Sanders?

Many thanks to my FB friend Sara Jayara for cluing me in to the fact that there is a possible known birth hour for Senator Bernie Sanders based on a glimpse of a natal chart done for him years ago by a girlfriend.

If fixed Scorpio is indeed rising, his rigidity of purpose concerning Scorpionic issues (corporations, big business, money including hidden funds, taxes, surveillance, etc) through the

A Glimmer Of Hope

This is a good news story, so bear with me and see where it leads. Victims of the condition variously labelled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) are used to being disbelieved, disrespected, and ignored. They know about being labelled liars, shirkers, fantasists. That’s on top of being terribly ill — racked with pain and migraines, unable to absorb nutrition, unable to bear noise or light, unable to get out of bed, yet never refreshed from sleep. You can die of M.E.; you can, mysteriously, recover completely; or you can live with it for decades. There is no test […]

Gemini Full Moon: Let Us Give Thanks

An excess of Saturn makes for a chilling sort of social Darwinist view of life, where only the toughest deserve to survive. And too much Neptune makes it impossible to accomplish anything worthwhile, because you’re preoccupied with avoiding painful reality and keep forgetting to pay the electric bill. But here’s the good news: we’re people, not planets….

Rising Through Communications, Gemini Full Moon, Saturn Neptune Square

Saturn/Neptune square, Full Moon. Confusion and doubt continues to seep into this busy holiday week with a heightened influence from the Saturn/Neptune square, and a Full Moon on Thursday November 26. As direction blurs, persistence seems to weaken. What we’ve been building and creating attachments with, may not sem worthwhile or make much sense anymore. Due to a high volume of […]

Astrology of Now: Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces

With Jupiter’s move into Virgo this summer, and Saturn’s move into Sagittarius, we are seeing a shift of emphasis into the mutable signs. Neptune and Chiron, also both slow-moving, are already in Pisces. This creates a T-square pattern — at least by sign if not by exact degree. The strongest part of this pattern is a right-angle or square aspect between Saturn and Neptune. This becomes exact on November 26, and then in June and September next year. Meanwhile, Jupiter in Virgo will also square Saturn next spring. This means this T-square will never lock into an exact aspect, but Saturn […]

Accepting My Magic, Neptune Direct, Sun, Mercury enter Sagittarius

Neptune Direct. In the past five months during Neptune Retrograde, there was an opportunity to be more in touch with our perception; to understand how it has (or has not) worked for us, and our reality (Saturn). During this period, we’ve slowly drifted away from the fantasy, illusions and personal assumptions. As life and/or relationships started to become more crystal clear, a sense […]

Astrology of Now: Ready To Catch The Wave

Neptune goes direct November 18, 16.30GMT. 7’01 Pisces Salt water is sucked backwards over the shingle, and you are pulled over loose sand and pebbles. You can see the shore, but the wave drags you away. The energy is concentrated, focused in the belly of the wave. Then it seems to stand still and grow taller. A moment later it’s crashing, rushing forward to the beach with froth and roar. Neptune, the great god of the sea, has been quietly retrograde since June 12. He moves very slowly. He’s gone back all of two degrees. But this slowness has focused the […]

National Geographic: Swallowed By A Great White Shark

My grandparents had stacks of yellow-edged National Geographics in the basement of their house, some dating from the days before photographs were on the front cover. On rainy days in summer or awkward Christmas holidays, I escaped down there, opened those shiny covers and travelled the world. I guess it was like that for a lot of people. The magazine was like an old friend, something we took for granted. It would always be yellow, the pictures would always be great, and the world it told us about would always be awesome. Until last month the magazine was not for profit, which explains perhaps […]
